Got my iPhone 4 today and there are so many things right about it. My top 3 features:

The Screen

Wow. Just wow. It is the clearest, sharpest screen I have ever seen. Period. Reading mail on it is a joy

The Camera

The camera is amazing. I’ve been pretty happy with the past iPhone cameras for situations where I didn’t want to carry my heavy D700 rig but the camera on the new iPhone is impressive. It performs well in low light situations, even without the built in flash, and also in more extreme wide dynamic range situations (hard shadows around a sunlit pool). The front facing camera isn’t quite as good but great for framing up those quick arm-length photos

The Bing

There is nothing quite as refreshing as changing my search default to Bing so that every time I have to deal with Safari I get to see the little Bing box in the upper right corner. Woohooo!!

As I took inventory of my aches and pains towards the end of last year, the list I came up with was alarmingly long. As I looked over the list, I realized that a) I really need to take care of some of these things and b) I was in for a long year. This is the story of 2010 – The Year of My Rebuilding.
